ave8rr Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 September Sport Pilot PDF is now on the Website! 18 of month and still not available to down load........ 1
DrZoos Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Its not hard to run it as a downloadable PDF, that bit is a cinch, but they would need either a decent host with plenty of resources or to host it externally, as with 7,000 odd plus members hitting the download button on a many page full colour PDF within basically 72 hours of each other once per month...thats some serious download capability... not within the realms of a normal host account...but certainly attainable at a reasonable cost. I agree it should simply be a PDF link on the website and on the Facebook page. An external app should be optional.
DrZoos Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 The big announcement is a launch of more useless Fluff.. not tackling the real issues like being forced around CTA or RA into mountains, ocean , outback...MTOW or getting flight reviews in RAAus aircraft... I dont often bag RAAus but this makes me really angry - Typical Canberra crap! Grab the whole organisation, stop the work get some photos and make it look like your doing something rather than tackling the big difficult issues that would really promote safety... Instead they should have taken all the staff and sat on the transport ministers steps until he guaranteed to listen to them about CASA not listening in regards to CTA MTOW ... 1
DGL Fox Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Ok... National Safety Month...that is the big announcement...we all need to wear hi-vis vests...0kay dokey... https://www.facebook.com/RecAviation David
kasper Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Well if I was actually expecting anything useful I would have been disappointed ... unfortunately I am not disappointed Though with this level of 'build the excitement watch this space' announcement followed by this I am suspecting we might have missed the real announcement that RAA HQ has been outsourced the CASA
DrZoos Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 kasper if they keep that dribble up it may as well be Perhaps MTOW will increase by 500g to allow for the hi vis vest and extra page in our manual
Happyflyer Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Flying schools have been sent a bunch of fluro vests and pamphlets. I wonder how much that cost. New slogan of "Clear prop, clear mind" doesn't do anything for me. DrZoos is right, just fluff.
Downunder Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 I keep being told it's a "members" organisation. Obviously new vests are from a push by the members.......or not?
IanR Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Interesting that its announced at an airport most RAA people can't fly to ? 1 2
Geoff13 Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 A total waste of money as far as I can see. And the build up is typical politician speak. I wonder how much of our money we are paying spin doctors to come up with that crap. I thought safety was something that needed to be considered all the time. 2
DrZoos Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 This is the exact crap that RAAus should be avoiding...this makes me think these guys are a bunch of photo happy politicians, not interested in real outcomes...I dont think i have ever been critical of RAAus till today (happy to be proven wrong) but this just destroyed my faith in them. 1
cscotthendry Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 AND THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT IS ... Legend 8714 was granted full registration today as first of type 5 6
DrZoos Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Give us a wider view photo, that is news worthy unlike this other dribble
Downunder Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Good that today is going to be remembered for something important. The type certificate of a new aircraft. 1 1
facthunter Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Very pretty. She'll never be as clean again. Hope you get a lot of safe fun out of that. Nev 1 2
DrZoos Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 [ATTACH=full]37974[/ATTACH]That is one sweet looking machine well done! It was a news worthy day after all. 1
fly_tornado Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Give us a wider view photo, that is news worthy unlike this other dribble gr8 photo + 1/2 day a work = mission accomplished
pmccarthy Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 So what was the announcement? Not on the website. Haven't seen an email.
DrZoos Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 gr8 photo + 1/2 day a work = mission accomplished 15 staff 4 hours x $30ph $2500, plus orange vests, signs, Matt Hall, lead up work.... $6000 well spent ??? Idiots! 3
red750 Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 So what was the announcement? Not on the website. Haven't seen an email. See the RAA facebook page.
kasper Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 [ATTACH=full]37974[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]37975[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]37976[/ATTACH] tongue in cheek ... RAA must have been too busy with other 'announcements' to query the compliance of your regn numbering to their own requirements for a solid font ... 1
DrZoos Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 So what was the announcement? Not on the website. Haven't seen an email. Orange vests and new signs to announce orange vest = big announcement
SDQDI Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Pm the announcement seems to be the introduction of a safety week (or month I can't remember already!) with reflective vests and pointless mumbo jumbo:puzzled: Canberra seems to have the ability to remove people from reality and place them in a mindset that has them seeing the rest of us mere mortals as incompetent, illiterate dopes. 7
